Going from 'veteran' to 'old' happens real quick in this league; like in one offseason. What Pitts has done better than any other team is draft well & let players go before they start declining due to well, drafting well. They've had players waiting in the wings ready to step in & not miss a beat. I don't see that continuity now. Who's stepping in for Polamalu? Ben? Mendenhall?

In the meantime, in the past couple of years the Browns have had good drafts - Haden, Ward, Richardson, Schwartz, Taylor, Weeden, Gordon, Little. They're the 2nd-youngest team in the league.

Basically, you have two lines on a graph that are moving in opposite directions. It's just a matter of time before they intersect.

As a Browns fan I'm not sold on Little or Weeden.  And I think we need another HB as it is only a matter of time before Richardson is gimping around the way he runs.  The Browns could use another LB and Safety too.

Seen Hardesty run lately? He's more than capable of spelling TR.

Re Weeden, I think he's done pretty well for a rookie. Yeah I know he's 29. He's still a rook. Last check he had 12 TD/13 INT. He's got the arm.

Re Little, he's seem to come around lately. Last year (his first football of any type in 2 years) he dropped way too many passes, and he started this year doing the same. But over the past month or so he's been hanging on to them & even making some nice acrobatic grabs.

We definitely need a Safety. And a CB. And an OLB. Look for the coming draft to be defense-intensive. Offense is pretty much good to go.

Chip Kelly would bring a fresh offensive approach to the Browns.

Kelly just reminds me of Spurrier for some reason, fair or not.

Screw Chip Kelly. I hear he tried to extort Jimmy Haslam for outrageous jack. Also hear he's ambivalent about leaving Oregon. Then don't.

Call Ken Whisenhunt.

That's how they did it last time - Heckert then Shurmur. But with Banner on board, he said he & the HC will conduct the draft. In other words, the GM will basically be a glorified scout.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
